Seventh Day Adventist Can Sue Over Forced Sedation

In Snyder v. Robinson, (D ID, Dec. 1, 2021), an Idaho federal district court in its initial screening of an in forma pauperis lawsuit concluded that plaintiff, a Seventh Day Adventist, can move ahead with his allegations that a nurse injected him with drugs to sedate him, in violation of his known religious beliefs. The court also permitted him to proceed with his 4th Amendment and his 14th Amendment right to privacy and bodily integrity claims.
